A day at St Christopher's
Life at St Christopher’s is full of challenge. Each child is encouraged to aim for a high standard of academic achievement in a well-structured, disciplined and stimulating environment.
8.25am - School opens
12.30pm - Lunchtime
3.30pm - End of school day
6pm - End of after-school care
When children enter the school at 8:25am they know that their teacher is waiting for them in the classroom. This is a great opportunity for the children to catch-up on any unfinished work and get answers to questions with the support of the teacher.
Number of lessons
Reception, Years 1 and 2 have three lessons and one central break in the morning.
Years 3 to 6 have four lessons and one central break.
After school
The timetable is similar for both age groups. At the end of the day, the pupils have the choice of going home at 3.30pm, staying for any available clubs or activities or staying on at school until as late as 6pm in Aftercare. The school provides a wide variety of free school clubs; with clubs run by external contractors charged as an additional cost.
Aftercare staff provide a wholesome snack and a myriad of games and activities. Older pupils are also able to finish their homework in Aftercare. If it is warm, children can play outside.
